Alpine pasture

Chapter 268
When Juan went out to the cowboy grazing area in the east, he looked at it, and when he returned to the house, Dinah and her sister and mother had already started preparing dinner, and the three children were tired from playing, and they were sitting down Drinking fruit juice milk on the sofa, Teddy and Jinbao Hans also mixed a small basin of milk each, and were drinking with their heads buried. Si and Jin Bao also pushed Wu Song away from time to time, so that the most place where Wu Song's spoon fell was the simple and honest Teddy's basin.

Ju An took a long breath and walked into the kitchen and said to the busy Dinah, mother and sister, "Now the house is finally quiet."

The elder sister said with a smile: "You will know when you and Dinah have a baby. At this time, it is considered a blessing. When Tongtong was a little older, your brother-in-law and I would divide the night into the upper and lower half nights. If you don’t sleep, you will suffer.”

"When did Taylor come to pick up Jerry and Emily?" Ju'an said to Dana.

Dinah smiled: "I just left, Emily and Jerry still wanted to live here today, Taylor said he didn't bring a sleeping bag, so he went back with him."

Waiting for Dad to come back, dinner started at home. Dad now treats himself like a cowboy, chatting with Er Zhuang, Du Jun and Du Hu, and busy driving cattle. The life is quite comfortable , Every day the cattle must be driven back to the woods where they spend the night before they come back.

Before everyone had finished eating, the three children threw away their rice bowls and ran out to say that they were full. The three children had a very delicious meal together. Now the three children came to eat with the three children. Like a pig, it can eat two or three bowls of small bowls for each meal, usually one and a half pieces of steak, and fruits on the table are added between the two meals. Overall, the nutrition is fairly balanced.

After Ju An and the others finished their dinner, they went to the living room to have a look. None of the three little monkeys were there, not only the three monkeys and Teddy were also in the living room. Ju An went to the door to have a look. No, he shouted: "Ran Ran, Tong Tong Nini!".

After shouting twice, the voice of promise came from the back of the room. Ju An was relieved, and walked towards the back of the room with small steps. When he got to the back of the room, he saw Nini, Ran Ran and Tong Tong Looking for something under the tree, Wu Song seemed to be putting something into his mouth, even Teddy and Hans Jinbao were chewing something in their mouths.

Seeing Ju An approaching, Tong Tong stretched out his hand to Ju An and said, "Uncle! Let's fry the cicada monkeys and eat them tomorrow."Ju An saw that Tongtong was indeed holding two cicada larvae in his hands. Ju An's hometown was called a cicada monkey.The two cicada monkeys in Tongtong's hands haven't grown wings yet, they are still larvae, and their caramel-colored shells haven't come off yet. They just crawled out of the hole and fell into the hands of three little monkeys.

Ju An looked at it and said: "There are only two, too few to be worth frying."

Tongtong immediately said: "We caught a dozen or so just now, and asked my brother to feed Wu Song and Teddy."

Ran Ran said beside him: "Second Master, is this really edible?".Nini also leaned her head to look at the cicada larva in Tongtong's hand, and then looked at Ju An.

Ju An said with a smile: "Of course I can eat it, and it's delicious."

Tongtong followed and yelled: "Uncle, uncle took us to take care of the monkey, okay?".After finishing speaking, he stretched out his other little hand and grabbed the corner of Ju An's clothes and shook it.

I’ve lived here for more than a year, but I didn’t think there were cicadas here. Thinking of the scent of cicadas, Ju An swallowed: “Okay! Go back and find something, let’s take care of it at night, and eat fried cicadas tomorrow morning.” ".

Tongtong cheered immediately: "Oh! I got the monkey! I got the monkey!".After speaking, he took the lead and ran into the house, and Ran Ran and Nini followed happily. The two little people had never eaten cicada larvae, anyway, they were just having fun when someone took them out to play at night. Teddy and Nini Hans Jinbao and Wu Song also hurriedly followed.

When Ju An arrived at the house, she saw Tongtong stretching out her hand and chatting with her mother and elder sister Ju Rao, and her mother looked at the Zhizhi monkey in Tongtong's hand and said, "There are Zhizhi monkeys here." ".

Ju Rao smiled and said: "How fresh, Mom, I heard a cicada calling when I came last time, I don't know where the monkey came from."

Tongtong immediately rushed to say: "Uncle is going to take us to catch cicada monkeys at night, mother hurry up and get a flashlight for Tongtong."

When Dinah saw the cicada monkey in Tongtong's hand, she asked Ju An, "Is this edible? It looks scary."

"It's edible, and it's delicious when fried. I used to go to the embankment of the canal and tell the monkeys to eat it when I was young," Ju An explained with a smile.

Dinah still didn't believe that this food could be eaten, and looked at the cicada monkey in Tongtong's hand with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Ju An patted Tongtong on the head: "Hurry up and ask your mother to find a bowl to put these two together, then find us a few small buckets, take a flashlight and let's go and tell the monkey."

After hearing Ju An's words, Tong Tong immediately stuffed the two cicada monkeys into Ju Rao's hands, and then took Ju Rao's hand and walked towards the kitchen. Ran Ran and Nini also walked into the kitchen, Ju An Then I went upstairs and found several bright flashlights at home, and then put on long riding boots. When I went downstairs, I saw three little people holding a small plastic bucket in their hands. Ann saw that the three little people were still wearing sandals, so she said to Dinah, mother and elder sister Jurao: "We have to go to the woods and put on long boots for the children. There is a snake or something."

Dinah said with a smile: "Anyway, the cattle dogs are fine now, just bring a few cattle dogs with you when the time comes."

Ju An said: "Safety comes first, there is no harm in being more prepared."Now everyone was busy helping the three little ones change their boots first, and then the adults also put on their boots. Ju An gave each of the three children a flashlight. Dinah took Nini, sister With Tong Tong, Ran Ran followed her grandma, while Ju An led a large team.

Dad looked at everyone busy and said: "I won't follow, I'm a little tired after a busy day, and I'll go to bed immediately."

"You slept with you, and we didn't want you to follow me." Mom said to Dad with a smile.

After everything was ready, Ju An went to the poultry house, took the preserved eggs, tiger head and garlic, plus Sith, and four cattle dogs, and joined the big team at the gate, four adults and three children , four cattle dogs, Teddy Wusong and Jin Baohans, a group of people rushed to a small forest not far behind Ju'an's house.

As soon as she entered the forest, Tongtong said to Nini and Ran Ran: "The three of us will start a competition and see who can catch more monkeys."

Looking at Ran Ran and Nini nodded and said: "Then start now!".

Within 2 minutes of entering Xiaolinzi, the sharp-eyed Tongtong discovered the first result of the battle. A hapless guy lying on the root of a tree just out of the hole was picked up by the chubby hand: "Look! Look! I caught it!" one".After speaking, he threw the cicada monkey into a small plastic bucket, then stretched out his head and took a flashlight to shine on it.

Not long after Tongtong found it, Ju An also saw one, but this cicada monkey climbed quite high, Ju An couldn't reach it even on tiptoe, Ju An didn't think much about this cunning guy, He snapped his fingers and said to Wu Song, "Take it down for me."Hearing Ju An's words, Wu Song climbed up the tree with a sharp sound, caught the cicada monkey, and then wanted to hand it to Ju An. The monkey was put into Nini's small bucket, and Nini looked at the cicada in the bucket and said to Dinah happily: "Mom, I also have one in my small bucket."

Tongtong immediately said unconvinced: "It doesn't count, sister Laipi, it was my uncle who caught me."My mother said next to me: "Then what your mother caught and put it in your bucket, of course my sister counts."

Tong Tong muttered: "Mom didn't catch it again."The elder sister Ju Rao said with a smile: "Catch it quickly, if you complain about it, you might catch another one."Tongtong stretched her head again and began to look up and down the tree with a flashlight.

Ju An held a flashlight in one hand and put the other in his trouser pocket. When he saw someone who knew him, he called Wu Song directly. He didn't even pick up the one on the ground. Ju An saw Ju An's action and smiled and said: "These three He looks like a landlord in the old society, and he can use his mouth, and Wu Song, a long-term worker, is exhausted to death."

Tong Tong also yelled: "It's not fair, it's not fair, let Wu Song come and help me catch the cicada monkey."

Before Tongtong could finish his words, Wu Song took out a cicada monkey from Nini's bucket and put it in his mouth to eat. When his mother saw it, she said, "They are eating while grabbing it. Maybe we didn't catch as many as we did in the end, Ran Ran and I don't need Wu Song's help."

Tongtong looked at the half-chewing cicada monkey in Wu Song's hand, with its pattering mouth, and hesitated again, and finally saw Wu Song put his hand into Nini's small bucket again, and finally He quickly said: "My mother and I don't want Wu Song's help."

The adults in Ju'an laughed for a while after hearing this.

Although this small forest doesn't look that big at ordinary times, it took me an hour to find a circle of cicadas, but there are really quite a few cicadas. Cicadas crawled out of the hole easily on the soft ground. After Lin Zi searched, each of the small buckets of the three little guys was filled with cicada monkeys.

After taking photos of this forest, Tongtong Ranran and Nini seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied, Tongtong said: "Let's go to that forest to take photos."

Ju An looked up and saw that it was the forest where the herd of cows spent the night. If the monkeys were informed after going in, the sun would probably come out after the sun was shining, so her elder sister Ju Rao said to Tong Tong: "This is enough, the rest is enough. Save it for tomorrow night to take pictures, take less pictures, and next year I can come to my uncle's house to take pictures, if I finish taking pictures of the cicada monkeys this time, I will have nothing to eat when I come to my uncle's house in the future."

Tongtong just nodded and followed Nini and Ran Ran. The three little guys led the way with a small bucket in their hands.
